Sam Speight has lived in exile from his country for more than a decade, having been forced to flee his beloved Fiji after being beaten and tortured, he claims, by the man the Albanese government has chosen to be deputy commander of 3500 Australian troops.

Speight, 69, says he remembers the moment 13 years ago when he alleges Penioni (Ben) Naliva tried to sodomise him with the barrel of an M16 rifle as clearly as if it had happened ­yesterday.

It’s not something about which the former Fiji parliamentarian likes to talk, and there’s a long ­silence as Speight struggles to put his feelings into words. But eventually he lays out his allegations.
